Fayetteville’s Maddox Is Named Rising Star

Fayetteville-based architect Tim Maddox recently earned a nice nod from the folks at Garden & Gun magazine.

Maddox, a principal at deMx architecture, was tabbed as one of 21 “rising stars who are making us all look good,” in the August/September issue, which was focused on Southern style and culture. The group consisted of “architects, artists, designers and craftsmen.”

Maddox is from Jonesboro and a product of the University of Arkansas’ Fay Jones School of Architecture.

Garden & Gun said: “Most young architects gravitate toward the bright lights of cosmopolitan cities. But Arkansas native Tim Maddox … preferred home over the hubbub. Together with fellow architect Tim de Noble, Maddox designs rigorously modern residential projects that incorporate vernacular elements – namely those inspired by the rich agrarian history of the area. This inventive combination of old and new is what sets Maddox’s work apart in the world of contemporary architecture.”

Also included was this from none other than Marlon Blackwell: “The strength of Tim’s architecture is his response to place.”
